Diamonds are Forever

A James Bond Novel

By: Ian Fleming

Narrated by: Pippa Bennett-Warner

USING HIS FORMIDABLE SKILLS OF DECEPTION, JAMES BOND WORKS TO TAKE DOWN AN AMERICAN GANG

Narrated by Pippa Bennett-Warner The Spangled Mob are no ordinary American gangsters.

They prey on the addictions of the wealthy and treat the poor as collateral. Their ruthless desire for power and fierce brotherly loyalty make them deadly and invincible.

Now James Bond must go deep undercover in his urgent new assignment: to destroy their millionaire masterminds, Jack and Seraffimo Spang.

But the Spangs’ cruel influence is everywhere, from dusty African diamond mines to the frenzied gambling dens of Las Vegas. Can Bond find his men before his cover is blown?

The characters were great but the story wasn’t great

I liked Tiffany Case very much and the Spang brothers bond was good as usual but the story was boring and confusing so I don’t think it was that great. I liked the performance but it sounded to cowboy.m Ft m

Horrible accents

I don’t understand where the narrator learned what a 1950s white man from Texas was supposed to sound like it, but this ain’t it. She made Felix Leiter sound like a New Orleans jazz musician. It’s a small complaint, but it came close to ruining the whole book.

Great Story!

Loved the story—recommended.
The narrator, though, does not fit this Bond story.
Would imagine she’d be great narrating “The Spy Who Loved Me“—(although Genevieve Gaunt did an outstanding job with that difficult story).
Somewhat off subject, but Gaunt narration of “The Spy Who Loved Me” is my favorite Bond story to date—a story which, before hearing Gaunt’s performance, had never made sense to me!

Another fun Bond adventure

I really enjoyed the reading, great audio quality with this recording. Excellent book, definitely a fun adventure.

Bond taking on the world of diamonds

Here we find James Bond taking on the world of illegal diamond snuggling all across the globe. If all you have ever seen is the movie then you are in for treat.
